I have replaced the battery in my Mazda key fob, but still no response on ingnition, door locks etc... the red light on the fob flashes, but nothing will operate... do I have to reprogram?

It does sound like it just needs to be re-paired to the car, there might/should be the instructions in your owners manual on how to do that.

This. The fob will have to be reprogrammed.

"Step 1: Open drivers door and leave open.

Step 2: Lock and unlock the driver’s door using the power door lock switch on the door.

Step 3: Insert key into the ignition.

Step 4: Turn key to on position and return to off position. (IMPORTANT - use ON position NOT ACC position). Do this 3 times within 10 seconds. Leave key in the ignition.

Step 5: Open and close the driver’s door 3 times. (Door should be left open after this step).

Step 6: ECU should respond by locking and unlocking the doors.

Step 7: Press any button on remote #1 twice. ECU responds by locking and unlocking the car doors.

Step 8: Press any button on remote #2 (etc.) twice. Each time the ECU will respond by locking & unlocking the doors.

Step 9: Remove the key from the ignition and the ECU will respond a final time with a series of door locks and unlocks."

I removed the link you posted for the safety of your members, it was directing members to a Chinese website we had already deemed unsafe.

Did you try the suggestion that Mazmart Trini offered?

Have you tried to "reset" the car itself by unhooking the battery? Also are you trying to use the fob in an area of high electro-magnetic interference (high voltage power lines e.t.c.) since that can severely reduce the range if not keep the car from receiving signals all together.

I tried this as my key won't work either but the doors will not lock or unlock manually while the door is open
